Pro-Hillary PAC Resorting to Hiring Fake Hillary Social Media Fans to Defend Her

Both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have a much more enthusiastic social media fan base on Facebook and Twitter, with Hillary lagging far behind on followers, likes, shares and engagement. Now Breitbart News reports, a Pro-Hillary PAC apparently is resorting to hiring fake online fans to defend Hillary against legitimate supporters who are critical of her.

“The task force will provide a presence and space online where Clinton supporters can organize and engage with one another and are able to obtain graphics, videos, gifs, and messaging to use in their own social spaces,” the group states.

“Additionally, the Barrier Breakers 2016 task force hopes to embrace the creativity of Hillary Clinton’s supporters by sharing their efforts and content with other groups,” it continues.

“Barrier Breakers 2016 is focused on pushing out positive content to Hillary supporters online to counter negative attacks and false narratives,” Correct the Record’s communications director, Elizabeth Shappell, told The Daily Beast. “The expanded task force was established in anticipation of the general election.”
